0:00:05 > 0:00:11The Roundhouse was built by railway pioneer George Stephenson.
0:00:11 > 0:00:13George, however,
0:00:13 > 0:00:18is probably better remembered, with his son Robert, as the inventors
0:00:18 > 0:00:23of the steam locomotive, the Rocket. Let us hope today that
0:00:23 > 0:00:27our teams are going to rocket forth and produce some decent profits.
0:00:27 > 0:00:29And let's go bargain hunting, yeah!
0:00:29 > 0:00:31TRAIN WHISTLE
0:00:58 > 0:01:01The Antique Fair, here at the Roundhouse, is in full swing
0:01:01 > 0:01:05and there are plenty of stalls for our teams to choose from.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08So, let's have a quick peek as to what's coming up.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13Competition runs rife today, as both the Reds...
0:01:13 > 0:01:15CROWD CHEERING
0:01:15 > 0:01:18..and the Blues want to take home the trophy of success.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21CROWD CHEERING
0:01:21 > 0:01:24But who will be the champion of champions at auction?
0:01:24 > 0:01:28- At £70. At £80 in the room.- Go on, please!
0:01:33 > 0:01:35Let's meet the teams.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38So on our teams today,
0:01:38 > 0:01:42for the Reds, we have married couple, Patrick and Donna.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45And for the Blues, we have good friends,
0:01:45 > 0:01:49at least they're good friends at the moment, David and Chris. Hello, everyone.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52- Hello, Tim.- Hello, hello. Donna, how did you two meet?
0:01:52 > 0:01:55We are involved in Paralympic powerlifting, which is
0:01:55 > 0:01:57for disabled athletes,
0:01:57 > 0:02:01and they compete in what is traditionally known as the bench press competition.
0:02:01 > 0:02:05I got involved because my mum was an athlete at the time.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07- She was also a world record-holder. - Was she?- Yes.
0:02:07 > 0:02:12- How fascinating. And you were a technical officer at our Games?- Yes.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15I've been, I think, refereeing now for about 25 years.
0:02:17 > 0:02:21I've been an international referee for quite a number of those years.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24So I've been out to a number of Paralympics, Worlds, Europeans and
0:02:24 > 0:02:27had the wonders of being at London 2012.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30- I bet it was pretty good. - It was amazing. It was amazing.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33Patrick, it seems you two are very well-suited, then, doesn't it,
0:02:33 > 0:02:35what with your interest in sport?
0:02:35 > 0:02:40Yes, because I'm a Paralympic powerlifter...initially,
0:02:40 > 0:02:44and I competed at the Barcelona Games.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48And, er, several other competitions, international.
0:02:48 > 0:02:54Then I retired from there and went into being a referee,
0:02:54 > 0:02:57an international Paralympic referee.
0:02:57 > 0:03:01And I also refereed at 2012 as well.
0:03:01 > 0:03:05What will your tactics be for Team GB in Red, today?
0:03:06 > 0:03:11Well, I'm looking at glass and ceramics,
0:03:11 > 0:03:13and Donna is...
0:03:13 > 0:03:17- Yeah, I'd like a bit of bling. I always like my bling.- Do you?
0:03:17 > 0:03:21- Funny that.- Fancy that. Fancy that, eh?
0:03:21 > 0:03:24- Has it not always been thus?- No. - Exactly.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27Well, nice mixture anyway. And good luck.
0:03:27 > 0:03:32Now, Chris, the connection between you is because of horses, right?
0:03:32 > 0:03:37Yes, we first met when we were, when I was about 16.
0:03:37 > 0:03:41I think Bodge was about, or David, I should say, was about 21.
0:03:41 > 0:03:46I've just retired from being a jockey. Two years ago now, actually.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50So I still like my horse racing, and working around that still now,
0:03:50 > 0:03:53- having horses.- What about the thrills and spills of being a jockey,
0:03:53 > 0:03:57because I think you are so brave? You go over the jumps and all that.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59I wouldn't call it brave, probably stupid.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03- With the bones you've broken, then...- Yeah.
0:04:03 > 0:04:08But I have ridden at the Cheltenham Festival, Aintree, Grand National.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11No winners, but obviously winners elsewhere...
0:04:11 > 0:04:13Taking part is the most important thing.
0:04:13 > 0:04:17No, you never think like that. It is all about the winning, as is today.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20Yes. So, David, what do you do in the horse-related world?
0:04:20 > 0:04:24Tim, I am a head lad in a racing yard, so that means
0:04:24 > 0:04:28I work very closely with the trainer, looking after the horses
0:04:28 > 0:04:32in their day-to-day training of them, feeding them, looking after them.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34That is quite a responsibility, though, isn't it?
0:04:34 > 0:04:38- They are worth millions these horses.- Some can be, yes.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41I'm up at five o'clock most mornings,
0:04:41 > 0:04:44sometimes seven days a week.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47And sometimes if we've been racing, I don't get back until six,
0:04:47 > 0:04:49- seven, eight o'clock at night. - No, quite. Long old day.
0:04:49 > 0:04:53But it is worthwhile when they go out and win.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56But what do you get up to when you're not hard at work in the yard?
0:04:56 > 0:05:00- Well. I play cricket for my local team.- This is village cricket?
0:05:00 > 0:05:04- Village cricket.- The very best type. - Oh, very much so.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07And I also play table skittles as well, during the winter months,
0:05:07 > 0:05:10- when it's cold.- Too wet for cricket. - Very much so.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13And quite right too. So you are out there to win today, right?
0:05:13 > 0:05:15And I'm going to give you £300 in just a second.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18What sort of things do you think you're going to go for?
0:05:18 > 0:05:21Er...anything that is going to make sure we are going to win.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24- Right, so not just horsey stuff? - Try not to,
0:05:24 > 0:05:27but I can see we'll probably get tempted somewhere along the line.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30- Will you?- I'd like a bit of silver and perhaps a box or something.
0:05:30 > 0:05:31- That sort of thing.- All right.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33Well, we've got a nice selection there, too.
0:05:33 > 0:05:37Now, for the money moment, £300 apiece. There's your £300.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39£300, you know the rules.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43Your experts await. And off you go, and very, very, very good luck.
0:05:43 > 0:05:47Well, what a mixture, eh? Paralympics to horse racing. Mmm.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51Now, let's meet our experts.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55Aiming to give 100% for the Reds is Nick Hall.
0:05:57 > 0:06:01And Jonathan Pratt is ready to rock'n'roll with the Blues.
0:06:01 > 0:06:02PLAYS GUITAR RIFF
0:06:04 > 0:06:05Well, here we are, Reds,
0:06:05 > 0:06:08but I can't help think we really should be the Gold team.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11- Nothing but gold.- Absolutely. And what are you going to buy?
0:06:11 > 0:06:14- I would like something silver and maybe a box.- All right.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16Anything that's going to make sure we're going to win.
0:06:16 > 0:06:21- Anything that makes a profit.- Profit, profit. Come on, let's go find some.
0:06:21 > 0:06:22Brilliant.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25- We've got to look out of the box, then.- Yes. Come on.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Clearly, it is all about winning today.
0:06:27 > 0:06:32So with both teams at the starting line, your 60 minutes starts now!
0:06:32 > 0:06:34WHISTLE BLOWS
0:06:34 > 0:06:38It's a case of just diving in and seeing what grabs you, really.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40WOLF WHISTLES
0:06:40 > 0:06:42Hello, ladies.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45He's a softy at heart, really.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47And the Blues are off.
0:06:47 > 0:06:51With their Bargain Hunt race card marked, they immediately home in
0:06:51 > 0:06:53on a striking piece of silver.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56- Anything horse racing.- Yes.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01This is probably going to be out of your price range...
0:07:01 > 0:07:04- Will it be out of our price range? - ..but it is a stonking...
0:07:04 > 0:07:09- What is good about this? - Folkestone Gold Cup 1935.- Oh!
0:07:09 > 0:07:11I could do a stonking deal on it.
0:07:11 > 0:07:17Still, at the absolute best, would have to be 250.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19Not do 200?
0:07:19 > 0:07:23- I can't do 200.- That wouldn't leave Jonathan with a lot if it was 250.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26- Wouldn't leave you a lot to buy two items.- It wouldn't, would it?
0:07:26 > 0:07:27No, that's probably...
0:07:27 > 0:07:31- I think that's awesome, though. - You've got some damage on the enamel.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33The detailing there. Very cool.
0:07:33 > 0:07:37It is very nice but I just think for the first item, it could be...
0:07:37 > 0:07:40How about we go straight in, first place we get to,
0:07:40 > 0:07:44and spend all the money on one object? How is that for a start?
0:07:44 > 0:07:47I think what we'll do, we'll put it back and if we haven't,
0:07:47 > 0:07:48- we'll come back.- Yeah.
0:07:48 > 0:07:52- 225. Go on.- You're really, really desperate, aren't you?- Yes.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55- I think we'll come back.- But Folkestone...Folkestone's gone now.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58I think we'll come back. She is not going to sell it for us yet.
0:07:58 > 0:08:03- He's in love now.- Yeah. We will get on, then.- You know it is here.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06We'll come back. It's a lovely young lady that we can come back to...
0:08:06 > 0:08:08And she says she's doing 225.
0:08:08 > 0:08:09She's thinking about it.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14Thank you very much.
0:08:14 > 0:08:18Chris seems keen enough, but David isn't sure about the first jump.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22Fear not, still plenty of time to race ahead, gents.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25- You don't like it. - I don't. I think they're tat.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31They're something you would bring back as a souvenir from your holiday.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33Speak your mind, then, Donna.
0:08:33 > 0:08:37- This is a fuse for a bomb.- Does it work?
0:08:37 > 0:08:38I hope not.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42CLOCK TICKING
0:08:43 > 0:08:46- Catch.- It's not cricket.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50What we're looking at is very traditional jewellery.
0:08:50 > 0:08:55We have some lovely period pieces here. Gem set, good mounts.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58- Are these moonstones, here?- That is moonstones and opals.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01But I know you passionately want to do a really good deal for us.
0:09:01 > 0:09:05I can see it in your eyes. You are sparkling like the moonstone.
0:09:06 > 0:09:10- I would do 180 on that, but that is really it.- 180.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12Arts and Crafts, it is fantastic.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15There is a juxtaposition to that Arts and Crafts.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18- You've got this Art Deco piece here. - A little basket.- Yeah.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21- That's quite a sweet thing.- It is a cutie.
0:09:21 > 0:09:25- What stones are in that? - Marcasites, and he is 55 quid.
0:09:25 > 0:09:29- So what sort of year would that be? - 1930.- 30.
0:09:29 > 0:09:34I think this one here catches the eye quicker than this one here.
0:09:34 > 0:09:38That is natural and that is cut by man.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41I'm drawn towards the Art Deco one, because as an auctioneer,
0:09:41 > 0:09:45I know the Art Deco style does well under the hammer at auction.
0:09:45 > 0:09:46How generous could you be?
0:09:48 > 0:09:50- We are at 40.- 40 quid.
0:09:51 > 0:09:55- I don't think that is bad.- Not overly...
0:09:55 > 0:10:00- ostentatious.- It is not too fussy, is it? It is wearable.- Yeah.
0:10:00 > 0:10:01Should we do?
0:10:01 > 0:10:05- We do.- We do. Deal.- Shake the lady's hand.- Thank you very much.
0:10:05 > 0:10:06You are very generous, thank you very much.
0:10:06 > 0:10:11Absolute star, thank you very much. In fact, even... Bless you.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13- Ah!- My goodness.
0:10:13 > 0:10:14They'll remember you.
0:10:14 > 0:10:18A smooth and perfectly executed lift for the Reds.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20That's the first item in the bag.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23Meanwhile, the Blues are horsing about.
0:10:23 > 0:10:24Name, Rusty.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26THEY LAUGH
0:10:26 > 0:10:29- I wouldn't want it in my house, I would say.- No.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32- And you won't let your children play on it.- No, definitely not.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34No, OK.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38- So, one item down.- Yeah. - Got to make a profit.- Got to be.
0:10:38 > 0:10:43- So we're on our way to gold.- I suggest Olympic-sized profit, don't you?
0:10:43 > 0:10:47- Absolutely.- There's plenty more to see. Let's get stuck in.- OK.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54The thing is you have to buy things that have added value,
0:10:54 > 0:10:58unusual, speculative, collectable, you know, and by doing so...
0:10:58 > 0:11:02- A little vase over there.- Yeah, the little vase over there.
0:11:02 > 0:11:03- What little vase?- This one here.
0:11:03 > 0:11:07- Why did you both like that?- It's red, isn't it?- It stands out.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09- It stands out.- Pick it up, and have a look.- Yeah.
0:11:09 > 0:11:14- That was... It just automatically, sort of...- 28.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17- Is it Poole? Let's have a look underneath.- Yeah, Poole.- Poole Pottery.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19I think...it's not very big.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22If we could get it for 18 quid...
0:11:22 > 0:11:23Take a tenner off it.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28I think we need to... We need to get a couple of items that aren't very much, to give us
0:11:28 > 0:11:31an option of one big one at the end.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33So we can ask and see whether we can get a bit knocked off.
0:11:33 > 0:11:37- If you both really like it, then...- You obviously don't like it.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41- You've seen it a lot.- You can get Poole vases that high.- Yeah.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44You know...it is better in some respects.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46Some people haven't got room for that.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48Have a small one.
0:11:49 > 0:11:53- We both liked it. We'll see what the best price we can get for it.- Go on, then.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56- Hello.- What is the best possible...
0:11:56 > 0:11:57Can I just have a look, please?
0:11:59 > 0:12:03I'm sure we could take that down to...£20.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08- 16?- Oh, you.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11Trying a little bit too hard. How about 19
0:12:11 > 0:12:14- and that's the end of it?- 18.
0:12:14 > 0:12:18That was our price when we came in, to be fair.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22- Cash. Today.- Cash today. 19 is perfect.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24At 18 is even better.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27- Can't help you with that. - £18.50? That's meeting you halfway.
0:12:27 > 0:12:31I'll tell you what I'll do, £18.99 and you've got a deal.
0:12:31 > 0:12:35- OK. We'll take that. - Thank you very much.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40The Blues are finding their stride and that's the first item bought.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42Well done, chaps.
0:12:44 > 0:12:48Now, back to the Reds, and Nick wants to spice things up.
0:12:48 > 0:12:52Look what I found for you. A taste of the Orient.
0:12:52 > 0:12:57- Something nice and spicy from China. You like?- OK. Interesting.- Yes.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00- Now that... Phil, take the weight. It is heavy.- It is heavy, yes.
0:13:00 > 0:13:04- What is it?- Because...solid bronze. - Is it?- Feel the weight of that.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07- That is just the lid. - Oh, yes, that is quite heavy.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09It's an incense burner.
0:13:09 > 0:13:13There would have originally been a little burner sat there.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15The heat coming up and then, of course,
0:13:15 > 0:13:18- you would have the incense rising. - And it would come out of the mouth.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20- Yes, it would come out of its mouth.- OK.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23Now, he has been off at some point, and they've soldered him
0:13:23 > 0:13:26- back on.- Because he's got a bit of welding going on there.
0:13:26 > 0:13:31But, you know, for the money, I think you can forgive that.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33Have a look at the ticket. It's why I picked it up.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37- 75, I think.- 65.- 65.- Yeah.
0:13:37 > 0:13:41- How old would this be?- It's late 19th century.
0:13:41 > 0:13:451890, 1900, thereabouts. So it is just over 100 years old.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47100 years old, to have a bit of a blip on it.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50- As we all know, the Asian market is strong at the moment.- Yeah.
0:13:50 > 0:13:54Look, you look at that. You have a chat. I'm going to go see the lady.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57See what sort of deal I can get, and I'll come back and have a catch-up.
0:13:57 > 0:13:58Right. That's OK.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01Whilst Nick gets a price on the incense burner,
0:14:01 > 0:14:03what have the Blues spotted here?
0:14:03 > 0:14:05Right, chaps. Bit of glass.
0:14:05 > 0:14:09Bit of glass and a bit of brass. Nice design.
0:14:09 > 0:14:13Twisted, sort of, spiral stem. But the key is...
0:14:13 > 0:14:15this is Baccarat,
0:14:15 > 0:14:18probably the best French glass manufacturer of the 19th century.
0:14:18 > 0:14:23Made famous in the mid-19th century with their big millefiori paperweights.
0:14:23 > 0:14:27It's held up there with the likes of Lalique,
0:14:27 > 0:14:30on that top level for manufacturing.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32To see that the mark is on the brass...
0:14:32 > 0:14:35- Is that a good thing?- Well, yes. Because you can't see the glass.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37It shows you that this isn't actually put together.
0:14:37 > 0:14:41- And what is it?- It's £50. It's not too expensive.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44- Should we give it a try? - Depends if you like it or not.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47- I don't particularly like it. - You don't like it.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49- Let's put it back, then. - OK, that's fine.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51We'll come back to it.
0:14:51 > 0:14:55Chris isn't so keen, but something to think about, maybe.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58Now, does Nick have a price for the Reds?
0:14:58 > 0:15:03If you like it, if you want it, this could be a Chinese takeaway for £45.
0:15:03 > 0:15:07- Oh!- Now, what do you think?
0:15:07 > 0:15:09- It's damaged.- That's why it's £45.
0:15:09 > 0:15:13But is £45 going to be enough while it's damaged? Gold medal, remember.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16I know, we need gold medal profits.
0:15:16 > 0:15:20But...we might end up with a bronze medal.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24- Now, look, let's start at the top and work back.- OK.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26If that was in perfect condition,
0:15:26 > 0:15:30- we would be looking at probably £200-300.- OK.
0:15:30 > 0:15:34- This is my buy, so... She had her bling.- I've had my bling.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36That's right. You've got your jewellery.
0:15:36 > 0:15:40Judging by what you told me that it would be if it was perfect,
0:15:40 > 0:15:44to what the lady is willing to offer, then, yes.
0:15:44 > 0:15:45- You hang on to that.- Yes.
0:15:45 > 0:15:49And then we've got all the time in the world to find our last big buy.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52- Yes.- All I've got to do is pay the lady,
0:15:52 > 0:15:57- and that is item number two bought and in the bag. So, well done, you. - Thank you.
0:15:57 > 0:16:01Well, it may not be gold, but bronze ain't bad, Reds.
0:16:01 > 0:16:05It's a second good lift of the day. Nice work.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09Now, if you're sitting comfortably, I have a question for you.
0:16:09 > 0:16:13What do you know about Wemyss pottery? Not a lot?
0:16:13 > 0:16:17Well, you might know that it comes from Scotland.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19At least, in 1882,
0:16:19 > 0:16:23Robert Heron founded his factory in Kirkcaldy,
0:16:23 > 0:16:25called it Wemyss Pottery
0:16:25 > 0:16:30and churned the stuff out in a very populist style
0:16:30 > 0:16:34until about 1932 and then the factory moved to Bovey Tracey
0:16:34 > 0:16:38where it continued making Wemyss Wares, amongst other things,
0:16:38 > 0:16:40until 1957.
0:16:40 > 0:16:44So that's the potted history of Wemyss,
0:16:44 > 0:16:48but the most popular production that they came up with
0:16:48 > 0:16:52was these little jokers - piggy wigs.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55Sometimes in pink, sometimes in yellow, sometimes in white,
0:16:55 > 0:16:58sometimes with clover on
0:16:58 > 0:17:02but all of an identical form.
0:17:02 > 0:17:03And why's this?
0:17:03 > 0:17:09Because a bohemian sculptor was employed by Robert Heron early on,
0:17:09 > 0:17:11he was called Karel Nekola
0:17:11 > 0:17:16and he imported the tradition from Central Europe
0:17:16 > 0:17:19and that is at New Year to present a little pig to a person
0:17:19 > 0:17:23who you wanted to have prosperity in the new year
0:17:23 > 0:17:24and that kind of caught on here.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29These things are extremely collectable.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32The late Queen Mother had a collection of Wemyss' pigs.
0:17:32 > 0:17:37She loved them and, as a result of that, they have a substantial value.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40In fact, a little pink pig like this you could expect to be worth
0:17:40 > 0:17:43between £120 and £160.
0:17:43 > 0:17:47Which is what I thought it was worth and I bought it.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50Unfortunately, and this is a cautionary tale,
0:17:50 > 0:17:52you have to look very carefully at the mark.
0:17:52 > 0:17:56You might think that when it says Wemyss Ware
0:17:56 > 0:17:59stamped into the bottom of the pig
0:17:59 > 0:18:01and then RH & Co for Robert Heron and Co
0:18:01 > 0:18:04that that was the maker's mark.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07Well, you'd be wrong. That is a faker's mark.
0:18:07 > 0:18:12A container or two of these things has pitched up from foreign parts
0:18:12 > 0:18:15and what they do is to take something brown,
0:18:15 > 0:18:18probably a tea bag, rub it into the mark
0:18:18 > 0:18:21and over the bottom of these feet to make it look a bit older
0:18:21 > 0:18:25and they do that to deceive you and I was deceived
0:18:25 > 0:18:28because, in fact, one of these things,
0:18:28 > 0:18:31if it's a modern reproduction like this one,
0:18:31 > 0:18:33is only worth about £20.
0:18:34 > 0:18:38And as a result this as an investment has turned out
0:18:38 > 0:18:40to be just a little swine.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42- PIG OINKS - Hey!
0:18:42 > 0:18:44Back to the shopping now,
0:18:44 > 0:18:48the Reds have two items under their weightlifting belts
0:18:48 > 0:18:51whereas the Blues have just the one.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54Feeling the pressure, Jonathan is having a team chat.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58- OK, chaps...- Yep. - ..45 minutes is almost gone.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01We've only got one object bought. We've seen a few things
0:19:01 > 0:19:04and now I think we're really sort of floundering around trying to find
0:19:04 > 0:19:07something else, not committing on what we've already seen.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10- I think we need to commit now.- I think we ought to go for the trophy.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12I think go with the trophy,
0:19:12 > 0:19:15maybe go back to the candlestick IF we can get it at the right price.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17- Which you don't like it... - I don't like it but if you think
0:19:17 > 0:19:20- it's going to win it for us... - Let's get the trophy.- Yep.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22That'll give us 12 minutes to look around
0:19:22 > 0:19:24and then hopefully it's still there,
0:19:24 > 0:19:26- if you don't find anything else, you get the candlestick.- OK.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29That sounds like a plan, definitely. Good plan.
0:19:29 > 0:19:33OK, seems the Blues have a plan but the Reds are still under pressure.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38- Try not to look too keen.- I'm not.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41- Hello.- Hello.- We're back. - You're back.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44You'll be wanting a second look.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47We will be wanting a second look, yes, please. So what do we think?
0:19:47 > 0:19:49- We ought to go for it, haven't we?- Yeah.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52- It's really right up your street. - 215?
0:19:52 > 0:19:54- Go on, then.- 215.- 215.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57- You're a star. Thanks very much indeed.- Thank you.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00- I hope you do brilliantly. - So do I.- Thank you very much.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02That's only number two bought, we've still got loads to go...
0:20:02 > 0:20:05It's OK but I think this is the winner.
0:20:05 > 0:20:09Ever competitive and keen to raise the winning trophy today,
0:20:09 > 0:20:12that's the second purchase for the Blues, well done.
0:20:12 > 0:20:16But our power lifting Reds are still keen to raise the bar.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19This is a nice example here.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21Now, you can see on the label it says "Holmegaard"
0:20:21 > 0:20:25- which is a Scandinavian firm. - All right.
0:20:25 > 0:20:29But if you flip it over, right under the signature,
0:20:29 > 0:20:32you see there you've got the Holmegaard mark
0:20:32 > 0:20:35which is etched into the base and then the date, 1961,
0:20:35 > 0:20:39so we know it's bang on mid-20th century design
0:20:39 > 0:20:42but between that you've got the squiggle which is a monogram
0:20:42 > 0:20:46- and that actually is a P and a L and it stands for Per Lutken.- OK.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49He was the head designer at Holmegaard in the '60s.
0:20:49 > 0:20:53- Now that little monogram adds a little bit of interest to it.- OK.
0:20:53 > 0:20:58- Now I like that, I like the fact that it's wide...- Its plainness.
0:20:58 > 0:21:02- ..and it is quite plain, so it'll fit in anywhere.- Yeah, yeah.
0:21:02 > 0:21:06- Now, it's priced at £80.- That's a little bit steep, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:21:06 > 0:21:10I mean, at auction, I think you'd maybe look at somewhere
0:21:10 > 0:21:13- between £60 and £80...- OK. - ..it would fetch
0:21:13 > 0:21:15so we're not a million miles away.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18It's marked so we know who it belongs to and where it's come from.
0:21:18 > 0:21:22- Absolutely. Put it back, we'll see what else there is.- Yep.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25- But that is a possible maybe. - Yeah.- Yes, indeed.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27Yep, have a think, Reds.
0:21:27 > 0:21:31Now, it seems the Blues are back to the gee-gees.
0:21:32 > 0:21:36- £105.- We can't afford that.- Who's it made by? Hang on.- Beswick.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39- That's class though, isn't it?- Mm.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42- How much have we got?- £65.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45So you'd need to get that for £60.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48- Worth a punt, then. 50?- Ask her, ask her. The lady's just over there.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51- Excuse me.- Go on, Chris, have a punt.
0:21:51 > 0:21:56- Sorry to be really cheeky.- OK.- But we haven't got much money left...- OK.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59..time left. Would you do it for 50?
0:21:59 > 0:22:02- I could do 60.- 52.
0:22:02 > 0:22:06- Yeah, go on, then.- The candles or this?- Not my decision.
0:22:09 > 0:22:10Candle.
0:22:12 > 0:22:13I just don't think...
0:22:13 > 0:22:16- Tell you what, we'll go and see what price we can get on the candle.- OK.
0:22:16 > 0:22:20- I want to go with this...- OK. - ..but I'll be diplomatic
0:22:20 > 0:22:24- and we'll come back in two seconds. - OK.- We'll go and see how much it is.
0:22:24 > 0:22:28- Cos at the moment it's 50, we've got to get them down.- Yep.
0:22:28 > 0:22:29There's not much time left.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32No, seven minutes left to be exact, JB.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35This shop could well be a photo finish for the Blues.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38Meanwhile, the Reds are having a team chat.
0:22:39 > 0:22:43- What are your thoughts? - Well, we've got two...- Yeah.
0:22:43 > 0:22:47..and one possible and I think we ought to go for the possible
0:22:47 > 0:22:50- because, well, we both like it.- Yeah.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53- Which one are you thinking of? - This is the glass bowl.
0:22:53 > 0:22:57- The Holmegaard, the Lutken, the Per Lutken.- That's better, isn't it?
0:22:57 > 0:23:02Cos it's got like, it's got the name on it, it's got the date on it.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04- So shall we go and see if it's still there?- Indeed.
0:23:04 > 0:23:05And the price has to be right.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09Get a move on then, Reds.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12- Hello.- Hello.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14We've come back for the candlestick
0:23:14 > 0:23:16and was wondering what price you would do for it.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18The best price you could possibly do.
0:23:18 > 0:23:22I'm afraid I can only take £5 off because it isn't actually mine,
0:23:22 > 0:23:26- it's my son's.- What do you think?- But it isn't expensive for what it is.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29- 45, can only take £5 off.- We don't want to insult you so we'll...
0:23:29 > 0:23:33- Yeah.- ..we'll go and take the horse. - OK. Thank you very much.- Thank you.
0:23:33 > 0:23:37Let's see if the Reds have more success.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39What sort of money could it be bought for?
0:23:39 > 0:23:41This is where the big smile comes into it,
0:23:41 > 0:23:44dazzle you with his smile and get the price down.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47Well, what would be your best bet on that?
0:23:47 > 0:23:50I've got £80 on this and obviously it cost me quite a bit to buy it.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53- Yes.- Make me an offer.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56Well, I was thinking of around about 45.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58Ooh, that's criminal!
0:23:58 > 0:23:59Push, Patrick, push!
0:23:59 > 0:24:02- That's naughty.- What if we rounded up to say 50?- Yeah.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05Do you think we could do a deal at £50?
0:24:05 > 0:24:09- Meet me about halfway at 60? - Bearing in mind...- 56?- 56.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11- 56?- Yeah, we'll do 56.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14- So if I take the vase, you thank this lady.- Thank you very much.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17- Much appreciated.- Thank you, sir. Thank you.- Job done.
0:24:17 > 0:24:21Well, there we are, the third and the final purchase of the day.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23- Well done, team. - Thank you.- Thank you.
0:24:23 > 0:24:27Congratulations, Reds, the push paid off.
0:24:27 > 0:24:29Feel the burn.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31You now have your third and final purchase.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33But with just two minutes left,
0:24:33 > 0:24:36the Blues need to race back to secure the Beswick piece.
0:24:38 > 0:24:42- Hi, there.- Hi.- Come back to get the horse, please.- Oh, brilliant.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44I'll just get that for you.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46- We did say 50, wasn't it?- 52.
0:24:46 > 0:24:50Oh, OK, then. Thank you very much.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52- Third buy.- Well done, chaps.
0:24:52 > 0:24:57- Thank you very much.- Next stop - the auction.- Yeah.- Good luck.- Winners.
0:24:57 > 0:24:58Yes.
0:24:58 > 0:25:03That's it, the Blues finally reached the finishing line and with that...
0:25:03 > 0:25:05Time's up. Well, it is for him.
0:25:05 > 0:25:09Let's check out what the Red team bought.
0:25:09 > 0:25:10They're pinning their hopes
0:25:10 > 0:25:16on an Art Deco silver and marcasite brooch which set them back £40.
0:25:16 > 0:25:21An oriental bronze incense burner cost them a smoking £45.
0:25:22 > 0:25:26And finally, this piece of Holmegaard studio glass
0:25:26 > 0:25:30bowled them over for £56.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33- OK, you two, that was good. - Yeah, that was excellent.- Excellent.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35What was the excellent bit for you? What's your favourite piece?
0:25:35 > 0:25:39- I think the favourite bit for me is my bit of bling.- Is it, Donna?
0:25:39 > 0:25:42- Little sort of silver brooch. - Do you agree with that?
0:25:42 > 0:25:47It was very nice but the one I chose was a little bit superior.
0:25:47 > 0:25:51- So which is your favourite piece? - The Chinese bronze incense burner.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54And that's your favourite and will it bring the biggest profit,
0:25:54 > 0:25:57- do you think?- I hope so.- Yeah, do you agree, Donna?
0:25:57 > 0:26:00It has a little bit of a problem with it, it's been soldered
0:26:00 > 0:26:02but it was very cheap.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05- Yes. So it will bring the biggest profit?- Yeah, yeah.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07- You reckon?- Cos it's all profit, profit, profit.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10Profit, oh, yes, it's all profit, profit. Yes, it's not a charity.
0:26:10 > 0:26:14- No, no, no.- No, no, we want you going home with shed loads.- Exactly!
0:26:14 > 0:26:17- And you spent how much?- 141.- 141.
0:26:17 > 0:26:21- 141...I'd like £159, please.- OK.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24- But I'm not going to count it because I trust you.- OK.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27This is part of your pension plan or it could be.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30It's probably the best pension plan there is at the moment, Tim.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33- Exactly right. Buy more antiques.- Mm.
0:26:33 > 0:26:34What are you going to go out and spend it on?
0:26:34 > 0:26:37I'm going to follow instructions from my team-mates here,
0:26:37 > 0:26:40they want three things, profit, profit and profit
0:26:40 > 0:26:41so I'm going for gold.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43All right, good for you.
0:26:43 > 0:26:47Meanwhile, why don't we check out what the Blue team bought, eh?
0:26:47 > 0:26:53A small Poole Pottery vase cost them a very precise £18.99.
0:26:54 > 0:26:58They hope this equally small silver trophy celebrating
0:26:58 > 0:27:01the Folkestone Gold Cup is going to be a winner for £215.
0:27:03 > 0:27:08And finally, the Beswick Norman Thelwell Pony Express ornament
0:27:08 > 0:27:10cost them £52.
0:27:10 > 0:27:11Giddy up!
0:27:11 > 0:27:14- OK, chaps, how are you? All right? - Very good.- Very good.
0:27:14 > 0:27:18What's the odds on making a profit then after that shopping operation?
0:27:18 > 0:27:22Erm, hopefully it's about 2-1 on but probably not.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24In your dreams.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26- Well, I wish.- Exactly. Which is your favourite item?
0:27:26 > 0:27:30My favourite item is probably got to be the little Poole vase.
0:27:30 > 0:27:34- The Poole vase.- Yes, I think so.- OK, fine. Do you agree?
0:27:34 > 0:27:38Erm...yeah, between that and the Beswick pony.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41- Which is going to bring the biggest profit?- The pony.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43Is it going to make a pony?
0:27:43 > 0:27:47- Fingers crossed.- It might do, you never know.- It might make a foal!
0:27:47 > 0:27:51- You spent how much?- £285.99.
0:27:51 > 0:27:56- So that's £14.01. Thank you. £14. - Don't forget the penny.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59And one penny. Hope you're going to spend the whole lot, JP.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01- I don't think I have much choice, really.- I don't know,
0:28:01 > 0:28:04you might spend a penny or you might not spend a penny
0:28:04 > 0:28:06depending on how you're feeling.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09- Or how cold it is.- Yes, exactly. Anyway, good luck.
0:28:10 > 0:28:14Time now for me to head off to the auction.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22Lichfield is famed for its cathedral
0:28:22 > 0:28:24and Richard Winterton's saleroom
0:28:24 > 0:28:27and who we do have here but Richard Winterton. Hello, boy.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30- Hello.- How are you?- I'm brilliant. - Very nice to be back.
0:28:30 > 0:28:33Now the Reds have gone for a mixture.
0:28:33 > 0:28:37We start off with the little silver 935
0:28:37 > 0:28:41- and marcasite basket-formed brooch.- Mm.
0:28:41 > 0:28:43- That's sort of meat and drink to you, isn't it?- It is, yeah.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46But ordinarily you'd put that brooch in a box with three or four
0:28:46 > 0:28:49- other bits of low-grade jewellery...- Yep.
0:28:49 > 0:28:52..but here it is on its lonesome, what might it bring?
0:28:52 > 0:28:56- £20.- OK, fine. £40 paid.
0:28:56 > 0:28:58- OK.- That's not so hot.- No.
0:28:58 > 0:29:01Then we've got this bronze sort of koro and cover,
0:29:01 > 0:29:04it's rather sort of tall for a koro but there we are.
0:29:04 > 0:29:05- Not great quality, is it?- No.
0:29:05 > 0:29:11And this silvery stuff is a great glob of solder so the lion,
0:29:11 > 0:29:16that dog of fo has been broken off and reapplied. Do you like it?
0:29:16 > 0:29:18I personally don't like it
0:29:18 > 0:29:20but at the present moment anything oriental
0:29:20 > 0:29:23people seem to be getting excited and are bidding
0:29:23 > 0:29:25although they probably haven't got a clue what it is
0:29:25 > 0:29:27and they think it's going to be worth something in the future
0:29:27 > 0:29:30so I'm afraid they go on the crest of the wave and are bidding
0:29:30 > 0:29:32- at the moment...- OK. - ..whatever the quality.
0:29:32 > 0:29:34Well, that's marvellous, we love all that. How much?
0:29:34 > 0:29:37- £50.- OK, £45 paid.
0:29:37 > 0:29:39- OK.- More or less the right price.
0:29:39 > 0:29:44- Now the Holmegaard bowl.- OK. - Says it all really, doesn't it?
0:29:44 > 0:29:46Sort of '60s, sort of modernism,
0:29:46 > 0:29:50sort of what the Scandinavians were churning out by the bucket-load.
0:29:50 > 0:29:52It's nice that it's signed,
0:29:52 > 0:29:56it's nice that it's got the date which always helps, always helps.
0:29:56 > 0:29:59- Yeah, 1961.- Yeah, it's nice, that's good and even without the colour,
0:29:59 > 0:30:04it's got a bit of style about it, it's in at the moment, it's current.
0:30:04 > 0:30:07OK. So putting your bold hat on, how much?
0:30:07 > 0:30:10- £40 to £50.- OK, £56 paid. - That's not bad.
0:30:10 > 0:30:12So two of the objects they appear to have paid
0:30:12 > 0:30:14perhaps a tad too much for,
0:30:14 > 0:30:17maybe the oriental fellow's spot-on but overall
0:30:17 > 0:30:20they could need their bonus buy so let's go and have a look at it.
0:30:20 > 0:30:22Right, then, team, this is exciting, isn't it?
0:30:22 > 0:30:27£159 you gave to Nick Hall. Nick, what did you spend it on?
0:30:27 > 0:30:30- Mm, I went big and bought little. - Ooh, OK.
0:30:30 > 0:30:34- What d'you think? First impressions?- Er, small.
0:30:34 > 0:30:37Well, I've heard that before!
0:30:37 > 0:30:39- But do you like it? - I'm not a pot person...
0:30:39 > 0:30:41- No?- ..but it is quite pretty.
0:30:41 > 0:30:45Made by the firm of Minton, right in that sort of Arts and Crafts,
0:30:45 > 0:30:49- Art Nouveau period. It's a wonderful term we call "Secessionism."- OK.
0:30:49 > 0:30:52Specifically for that type of decoration.
0:30:52 > 0:30:55Erm, and people that like British art pottery
0:30:55 > 0:30:59- like Minton Secessionism.- It's very nice.- Yeah.- It is very nice.
0:30:59 > 0:31:00I love this tube lining.
0:31:00 > 0:31:03- It's like icing a cake, you know, with an icing sugar bag?- Yes.
0:31:03 > 0:31:05That's why it stands proud like that, isn't it?
0:31:05 > 0:31:07Yeah, absolutely, stands away from the glaze.
0:31:07 > 0:31:10So they would have put that on after they made the vase?
0:31:10 > 0:31:13You'd have had people that were involved with the glazing,
0:31:13 > 0:31:16- people involved with the tube line decoration.- Right.
0:31:16 > 0:31:17What did you pay for this?
0:31:17 > 0:31:19I paid the princely sum of £80.
0:31:19 > 0:31:21- SHE GASPS - Yeah, it wasn't cheap.
0:31:21 > 0:31:23Might have been on the cusp of what it's worth
0:31:23 > 0:31:26but there might be a little bit of profit left in it.
0:31:26 > 0:31:28- OK.- Anyway, you can think about it, right?
0:31:28 > 0:31:30I mean, you don't have to take it.
0:31:30 > 0:31:32You've got plenty of time to cogitate.
0:31:32 > 0:31:34But after the sale of your first three items,
0:31:34 > 0:31:36I'll be saying to you, "Are you going with the bonus buy or not?"
0:31:36 > 0:31:38All right, that's the challenge.
0:31:38 > 0:31:40But right now, for the audience at home,
0:31:40 > 0:31:42let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Nick's pot.
0:31:44 > 0:31:46Nice bit of tube lined for you, Richard.
0:31:46 > 0:31:49Great. Always got a good following, haven't they?
0:31:49 > 0:31:51Minton secessionist stuff, yeah.
0:31:51 > 0:31:55Yeah, erm, obviously depending they haven't paid too much for it.
0:31:55 > 0:31:58- What's your estimate?- We've got 50-60, it should just get there.
0:31:58 > 0:32:02OK, well, Nick Hall paid £80. So he may have just paid a tad too much.
0:32:02 > 0:32:05On the other hand, the team may not go for it. You never know.
0:32:05 > 0:32:09Anyway, that's it for the Reds, now for the Blues.
0:32:09 > 0:32:12We've got our equestrian themed team.
0:32:12 > 0:32:16But they went first of all with the Poole vase.
0:32:16 > 0:32:18The orange splodgey job.
0:32:18 > 0:32:22Erm, and it's quite small, but how much?
0:32:22 > 0:32:24£15. Tops.
0:32:24 > 0:32:26£15 tops? Well, they only paid £18.99p.
0:32:26 > 0:32:28And by the time you've got going,
0:32:28 > 0:32:31I bet they come away from that with no trouble at all.
0:32:31 > 0:32:32- OK, good.- OK, brilliant.
0:32:32 > 0:32:35- Next is the silver trophy.- Yep.
0:32:35 > 0:32:37- You are very keen on horse racing, yourself.- I am.
0:32:37 > 0:32:40Is the Folkestone Gold Cup
0:32:40 > 0:32:41a renowned trophy?
0:32:41 > 0:32:43Not that I have heard of, no.
0:32:43 > 0:32:45No. There we go.
0:32:45 > 0:32:49- So lots of provincial racecourses in the old days.- Yep.
0:32:49 > 0:32:53All with their trophies and their cups and whatnot.
0:32:53 > 0:32:56That's quite a nice-shaped cup, isn't it?
0:32:56 > 0:32:59- I quite like it as a form.- It is.
0:32:59 > 0:33:02We see quite a few cups come through
0:33:02 > 0:33:04in different degreeing,
0:33:04 > 0:33:07and they have a bit of a following. A bit damaged, though,
0:33:07 > 0:33:09the enamel, which is a bit of a shame.
0:33:09 > 0:33:11But we have 50-80. I wouldn't be surprised
0:33:11 > 0:33:13if it gets to the hundred, really
0:33:13 > 0:33:15- That's the finishing line for it, is it?- I think so.
0:33:15 > 0:33:17Do you want a shock, Richard?
0:33:17 > 0:33:19Are you sitting down all right?
0:33:19 > 0:33:23£215 was the purchase price for that.
0:33:23 > 0:33:26- Oh.- It's enough to make you burst into tears, really.
0:33:26 > 0:33:28They must know something we don't, or an expert in the field in it.
0:33:28 > 0:33:32I can't see that getting anywhere near.
0:33:32 > 0:33:34Let's move on to Thelwell, shall we?
0:33:34 > 0:33:36Jolly chubby little pony,
0:33:36 > 0:33:39with a petrified child on board.
0:33:39 > 0:33:42They're quite fun, we have a lot come through the sale room.
0:33:42 > 0:33:45They have got a bit of following, and at £50-£60,
0:33:45 > 0:33:47they should get to that...
0:33:47 > 0:33:4850-60? That's fine, £52 paid.
0:33:48 > 0:33:52- OK.- Made in 1983, so no great age.
0:33:52 > 0:33:54Anyway, that's it.
0:33:54 > 0:33:56I think the trophy is going to torpedo them.
0:33:56 > 0:33:59They will need a bonus buy, so let's go and have a look.
0:33:59 > 0:34:01OK, lads, how are you feeling today?
0:34:01 > 0:34:03- Very confident.- Are you?
0:34:03 > 0:34:07You spent up so beautifully, £285.99.
0:34:07 > 0:34:11You only gave your man £14.01.
0:34:11 > 0:34:13JP, what did you spend it on?
0:34:13 > 0:34:16Well, since I had such a lot to negotiate with,
0:34:16 > 0:34:18it didn't give me a great choice.
0:34:18 > 0:34:20But we were shopping in Derby
0:34:20 > 0:34:23and so I thought it would be sensible to buy a piece of...Derby.
0:34:23 > 0:34:24Derby?
0:34:24 > 0:34:28What I have here is a little coffee can and saucer
0:34:28 > 0:34:31in the typical Imari palette, with the blue gilt and red.
0:34:31 > 0:34:33It's a modern piece, admittedly,
0:34:33 > 0:34:36pretty much copying a piece that would be made in the early
0:34:36 > 0:34:38part of the 19th century.
0:34:38 > 0:34:40With the £14 and a penny that you left me...
0:34:40 > 0:34:41That's what we had.
0:34:41 > 0:34:45- ..I spent £14 and a penny. - Did you really, the whole lot?
0:34:45 > 0:34:46- I spent the whole lot.- Wow.
0:34:46 > 0:34:49What do you think this will make on its own?
0:34:49 > 0:34:52Ah. It will make anything between £15 and £30.
0:34:52 > 0:34:55I know that's a broad thing, but I can't see you losing money on it.
0:34:55 > 0:34:59You're nearly guaranteeing it will make more than £14.01?
0:34:59 > 0:35:01I am guaranteeing. I would be very certain...
0:35:01 > 0:35:04That's not a guarantee, is it, "very certain"?
0:35:04 > 0:35:06THEY LAUGH
0:35:06 > 0:35:08It will make more than £15.
0:35:08 > 0:35:10OK. Well, there you go. You don't choose now, you choose
0:35:10 > 0:35:13after the sale of your first three items,
0:35:13 > 0:35:15but let's find out from the auctioneer
0:35:15 > 0:35:18what he thinks about JP's cup and saucer.
0:35:18 > 0:35:20There we go, nice safe buy -
0:35:20 > 0:35:22Imari pattern, Royal Crown Derby.
0:35:22 > 0:35:24Out of a big set, I guess.
0:35:24 > 0:35:26It is, and is the sort of thing
0:35:26 > 0:35:29that we'd make £20 every single sale
0:35:29 > 0:35:31and you're within a couple of pounds of that...
0:35:31 > 0:35:33£14 and a penny...
0:35:33 > 0:35:35- Oh, right, OK.- ..JP paid.
0:35:35 > 0:35:37He paid all his money to acquire it.
0:35:37 > 0:35:39- That's fine.- Perfectly all right.
0:35:39 > 0:35:43- Yeah.- We'll look forward to some good results. Good luck, Richard.
0:35:43 > 0:35:45- I'll need it.- I think you will.
0:35:47 > 0:35:49130...
0:35:49 > 0:35:51Sold at 130.
0:35:51 > 0:35:53475.
0:35:53 > 0:35:55Patrick and Donna, this is exciting, isn't it?
0:35:55 > 0:35:57Yes, it is.
0:35:57 > 0:36:00- This auction has been a long time coming, hasn't it?- It has.
0:36:00 > 0:36:04We were shopping a few weeks ago so it's lovely we've now done catch-up.
0:36:04 > 0:36:06First up is the brooch. Here it comes.
0:36:06 > 0:36:10The little brooch we have there, nothing on my book.
0:36:10 > 0:36:12£20, 15, 10 to go.
0:36:12 > 0:36:14- £10, the brooch.- Oh, come on.
0:36:14 > 0:36:16£10, the brooch.
0:36:16 > 0:36:17- Yes, yes, yes, yes.- £12.
0:36:17 > 0:36:2014, 16, 18.
0:36:20 > 0:36:23Right away at 18. £20.

0:36:30 > 0:36:32Minus £15.
0:36:32 > 0:36:34- Oh, dear.- Duh-duh-duh. - Now the bronze.- Right.
0:36:34 > 0:36:37There's the bronze.
0:36:37 > 0:36:39Interest on the book. I'm in at 50.
0:36:39 > 0:36:41I've got 60, I've got 70.
0:36:41 > 0:36:42£70, a bid.
0:36:42 > 0:36:44At £70, a bid.
0:36:44 > 0:36:46At £70, £70, £70.
0:36:46 > 0:36:48At £80 in the room.
0:36:48 > 0:36:4980, on my left, at 80.
0:36:49 > 0:36:50All finished, then.
0:36:50 > 0:36:52- Keep going.- Sold at 80.
0:36:52 > 0:36:54Thank you, sir, at 80.
0:36:54 > 0:36:56- Well done.- You are plus 20.
0:36:56 > 0:36:58Nice to see it's signed and dated.
0:36:58 > 0:37:00Makes a big difference with the studio glass.
0:37:00 > 0:37:02£10, I'm bid on the book here.
0:37:02 > 0:37:0415, the internet.
0:37:04 > 0:37:06That's not so good.
0:37:06 > 0:37:08£20, sir, got you.
0:37:08 > 0:37:10£25, I'm bid, internet.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12£30 in the room.
0:37:12 > 0:37:13Internet's out now.
0:37:13 > 0:37:14On the front at 30.
0:37:14 > 0:37:18Sold at 30. There it is.
0:37:18 > 0:37:22£30 is minus £26.
0:37:22 > 0:37:24You were £20, you're now minus £6.
0:37:24 > 0:37:25Uh-oh.
0:37:25 > 0:37:27That it's a roller coaster, isn't it?
0:37:27 > 0:37:29Wasn't it just?
0:37:29 > 0:37:31Now, Reds, what are you going to do?
0:37:31 > 0:37:33Will you go with the Minton pot, or will you stick with minus 6,
0:37:33 > 0:37:35cos minus 6 could be a winning score?
0:37:35 > 0:37:38- What's it going to be? - What do you want to do?
0:37:38 > 0:37:41We've just seen 20th-century design not do as well as we'd hoped.
0:37:41 > 0:37:43It might give you a bit of a leaner.
0:37:43 > 0:37:45- Stick.- Stick.
0:37:45 > 0:37:49- We'll stick.- You'll stick? - No bonus buy?- No bonus buy.
0:37:49 > 0:37:51OK, that's the decision made.
0:37:51 > 0:37:54We're going to sell it anyway,
0:37:54 > 0:37:55so let's find out.
0:37:55 > 0:37:57Minton bottle vase. 894.
0:37:57 > 0:37:59Nothing on my book.

0:38:23 > 0:38:25It's minus £45.
0:38:25 > 0:38:28- But you didn't go with it!- No, we didn't.
0:38:28 > 0:38:29You're so clever!
0:38:29 > 0:38:32Minus £6 is your score.
0:38:32 > 0:38:34That could be a winning score.
0:38:34 > 0:38:38Don't say anything to the Blues and all will be revealed in a moment.
0:38:42 > 0:38:44Do you know how the Reds got on?
0:38:44 > 0:38:46- No idea.- We don't want you to.
0:38:46 > 0:38:48First lot up is your Poole pot.
0:38:48 > 0:38:49Here it comes.
0:38:49 > 0:38:51The small Poole vase.
0:38:51 > 0:38:54Commission is on my book, 910.
0:38:54 > 0:38:56I'm starting at 15.

0:39:09 > 0:39:13It's...£6 and a penny.
0:39:13 > 0:39:14How about that?
0:39:14 > 0:39:17The silver trophy there, the Folkestone Gold Cup.
0:39:17 > 0:39:19Chester, 1929.
0:39:19 > 0:39:21Nothing on my book, £20, I'm bid.
0:39:21 > 0:39:23Oh, dear. 30, 40.

0:39:30 > 0:39:32At 100.
0:39:32 > 0:39:34Go on, please!
0:39:34 > 0:39:35At £100.
0:39:35 > 0:39:38Back of the room at 100,
0:39:38 > 0:39:41sold at 100.
0:39:41 > 0:39:43Yours it is, ma'am, thank you.
0:39:43 > 0:39:46100, that's minus 115.
0:39:46 > 0:39:48The little Beswick there,
0:39:48 > 0:39:51popular one. £20, 25, 30.
0:39:51 > 0:39:5540, 45, 50. 55, I'm bid.
0:39:55 > 0:39:57In profit again.

0:39:58 > 0:40:00£60 in the middle.
0:40:00 > 0:40:02£60, I'm bid. In the middle at 60.
0:40:02 > 0:40:06Sold at 60. Yours at 60.
0:40:06 > 0:40:09That is plus £8.
0:40:09 > 0:40:11So, there we have it, lads.
0:40:11 > 0:40:14I'm afraid it has not worked out as planned.
0:40:14 > 0:40:18But what do you want to do about the bonus buy? Are you going to go with it?
0:40:18 > 0:40:21- We are, I think we have to.- OK, fine.- Don't like it, but we will go with it.
0:40:21 > 0:40:25The decision is made. We are going with the bonus buy. OK, fine.
0:40:25 > 0:40:27Let us hope for the best, and here it comes.
0:40:27 > 0:40:30The Royal Crown Derby, there it is. Coffee can and saucer.
0:40:30 > 0:40:34Nothing on my book. Where are you going to be? £10. Five, five to go.
0:40:34 > 0:40:38£5, I'm bid. £5. Five at a bid. Five at a bid.
0:40:38 > 0:40:41Five, six, eight, ten.
0:40:41 > 0:40:46£10 on my right. At £10. £10, £10, £10, £15.
0:40:46 > 0:40:47- £20.- Good.
0:40:47 > 0:40:51- £20 in the middle.- Bit more.- £20 in the middle. All done, sold at
0:40:51 > 0:40:54£20. Thank you, sir.
0:40:54 > 0:40:57You were minus £100.99.
0:40:57 > 0:41:01You've just made a profit of £5.99,
0:41:01 > 0:41:06- which means you are £95 minus. Happy with that?- Yeah.
0:41:06 > 0:41:10- Could have been worse.- I tell you, you could be in with a chance here.
0:41:10 > 0:41:14- Well...- Not much of a chance. There's always a chance.
0:41:14 > 0:41:17Anyway, don't talk to the Reds, and all will be revealed later. OK.
0:41:17 > 0:41:20- Thank you very much.- Definitely. - Thank you.
0:41:25 > 0:41:27- So, has this been good?- Very good. - It has been good, hasn't it?
0:41:27 > 0:41:30- I mean, been chatting to one another?- No.
0:41:30 > 0:41:34Well, it is no secret that I'm afraid neither team are going
0:41:34 > 0:41:37- home with any folding money today... - Oh!- ..which is a pity.
0:41:37 > 0:41:41But, as usual, we have winners and no losers, just runners-up,
0:41:41 > 0:41:45and the team that are running-up by a fair old chalk today are the Blues.
0:41:47 > 0:41:49I mean, it started out very nicely.
0:41:49 > 0:41:53You made £6.01, which was a fairly good wager,
0:41:53 > 0:41:56and then the trophy let you down very badly.
0:41:56 > 0:41:58Then you made another profit on the Thelwell pony, which is
0:41:58 > 0:42:01very nice. And then you made a profit on the bonus buy.
0:42:01 > 0:42:06I mean, if there was any justice, you should be streaks ahead.
0:42:06 > 0:42:08Anyway, bad luck, chaps. Let's not dwell on it.
0:42:08 > 0:42:12Because you did very, very well elsewhere, and bless you for it. OK.
0:42:13 > 0:42:15Stick to the day job.
0:42:15 > 0:42:18Now, the victors today, however, are the Reds,
0:42:18 > 0:42:21who've managed to win by only losing £6.
0:42:21 > 0:42:24- Oh!- And £6 is neither here nor there, is it?- Yeah, we won!
0:42:24 > 0:42:28You got £35 profit on your Japanese koro and cover,
0:42:28 > 0:42:31which was a considerable achievement.
0:42:31 > 0:42:35And you missed going for the bonus buy, which was a very wise move too.
0:42:35 > 0:42:38And that means you only lose £6, so have you had a nice time, Donna?
0:42:38 > 0:42:41- Yes, it's been good.- Have you? Patrick, been good?- Marvellous.
0:42:41 > 0:42:43Marvellous.
0:42:43 > 0:42:46Anyway, we've had so much fun, why don't you join us soon
0:42:46 > 0:42:49for some more bargain hunting, yes?
0:42:49 > 0:42:51ALL: Yes!
